This is going to be a great event, with a really strong lineup, maybe even stronger than a typical Code S Ro16. Group B is similar to GSL Code S Season 3 Groups B/D, with Cure/herO swapped in for Zest/Dear, thus is more difficult. In Group A, FanTaSy has a harder path to advance in this event than he did in GSL S3 Grp A (were he came in 3rd), with Solar only a step behind Dark, but Zest >> SpeCial, and Gumiho >> KeeN.

And don't forget the great casting sure to be on offer from CreightonOlsen!

Tough day at the office for the belated-gg maestro, 1-4 in maps to finish 4th. Most impressive for me was Gumiho's solid play over the last four maps of the day to close out the group.

RagnaroK won group D in the recent Code S (picked early by seeded Classic), while the other three failed to advance to the Ro8. Is this Zerg on the rise and really the best player in this group? I expect Classic and herO to be looking for revenge after they both came in 4th in their GSL groups, and Cure should probably be the favorite of the four. This one is really hard to predict.

Ragnarok beating Cure, Classic, Gumiho and (online) Solar is a really impressive result

Thank you so much Mr Creighton, you did a wonderful job tonight (as always)

My pleasure, sudete. Huge thanks to the pros for playing, AlphaX for organizing and coordinating, the sponsors that put the cash forward, and of course, everyone who tuned in! If any one of those pieces weren't in place, this stuff would fall apart.

Great tourney, and I'm looking forward to more of them once I am back up and running. <3
